The poisonous crow was very annoyed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She was not arranged to block the attack in the pass, and the countess deployed all the forces of the poisonous crows behind the rocky hills on both sides of the trade route. In the Countess's original plan, the task of sealing the exit of the Narrow Pass was given to the three Dark Converts, and the Poison Raven was tasked with leading the main force to besiege Flavi from the rear after the pass.
It would have been the perfect plan. It is natural for the three Dark Shifters with a reasonable class mix to block the narrow Black Wind Pass, and the poisonous crows in the rear can completely eat Flavi's Rogue brigade from the rear while Flavi's troops slowly pass through the pass. This tactic is quite a bit of a "half-crossing attack", and it is also surrounded on both sides. In this way, no matter what the countess and other depraved Rog forces did in front, they would no longer be pursued by a large number of Lorge warriors from the rear, and they could calmly choose to fight or go. The defenders of the stronghold, which had only half of its strength, could no longer attack without their commander, and could only watch the countess flee into the underground passages.
But those two dark-skinned men from the Aranok Desert accidentally ruined the plan.
They seemed to be two travelers, who just happened to pass by the Black Wind Pass at this time. Originally, the three dark transferees didn't want to make a fuss and were ready to let the two of them go, but the two of them were very keenly aware of the three dark transitions hidden in the pass. Therefore, the two sides began an encounter.
Naturally, the three Dark Converts could not let go of these two desert visitors, and once they fled back to the west, they would report the ambush to Flavi. As a result, the three Dark Shifters continued to do nothing and launched a fierce offensive with the intention of quickly ending the battle. To their great surprise, these two dark-skinned men were not ordinary people - the younger one was a would-be paladin turned class, and the older one was a desert knight mercenary! Neither of them is a profession that can be dropped at will, and this can make the three dark shifters miss their hands, not only do they not kill each other quickly, but they also let the other party fight and retreat, run out of the pass, and even run to the open area in front of the pass.
In this here and now, there was no point in any hiding, and the three dark shifters simply appeared. Unfortunately, all this happened to be seen by Xiao Hei, who was released by Ling Dan to do reconnaissance work. Seeing that the ambush was hopeless, the poisonous crow simply stopped ambushing and fired an arrow of frustration at Flavi.
This is what happened before the convoy reached the Black Wind Pass.
Flavi shouted the name of the venomous crow, and the old rival of the venomous crow had already started shooting near the mound. With the Dodo's Claw with +3 Fire Explosion Arrow's area-of-effect stat, Flavi is powerful with every arrow. Even if you don't shoot the poisonous crow, you can take down a few Fallen Rogers. On the contrary, the poisonous crow was struggling to dodge at the edge of the explosion, getting farther and farther away from Rog's convoy under the pressure of the explosion, and there was not even a good chance to fight back. After a few rounds of fire, the Fallen Rogues were so condescending to shoot their heads that they were overpowered by Flavi, who opened their bows left and right. Instead, the female warriors of Rog gained a foothold with the help of the militia and began to return fire on the enemy on the hillock.
Compared to Flavi, the Poison Crow's bow and arrow skills are more than one head shorter. It's true that the Poison Crow has such a stat as "Toxin Enhancement", but there is no skill such as "Toxin Arrow" in the skills of the Rog Warrior. In addition to its own "Toxin Enhancement", the Poisonous Crow can only rely on the Dark Gold Crossbow "Spiritual Fluid Thorn" in his hand to increase the toxin damage. If you let Flavi get within a certain range of the Poison Crow, the Poison Crow can use the "Quenching Javelin" javelin skill to mediate with Flavi. It's a pity that there is no if in this long-range battle of fire.
Given that the situation on Flavi's side was still dominant, Ling Dan still set his sights on the entrance of the pass. Catherina, who was close to him, began to introduce the dark converts.
"The dark converts, also known as the degenerate converts, are the scum of the converts. In a sense, they are somewhat similar to Fallen Rog, both of whom are human beings corrupted by the dark forces, but Fallen Rog was forcibly blackened by Diablo, and the will of the Dark Shifters succumbed to the darkness, and even subjectively chose to take refuge in Burning Hell. Eventually, they all became lackeys of the devil, turning the spearhead against their fellow human beings and doing all kinds of bad things. Most of their emblems have turned black due to the corruption of dark forces, and their bodies will also appear demonized to varying degrees, such as red eyes, sharp horns on the top of their heads, tails behind them, etc., and their combat effectiveness will also be improved to varying degrees. ā
Ling Dan nodded and said, "Well, human casters must strictly prevent the situation of being controlled by demons, I think this is why the Supreme Heaven has changed to use the power of light to drive the teleportation circle." "Originally, in the Diablo 2 game, there were many such pathetic and hateful human traitors, and what they did almost destroyed the human home. For example, the barbarian traitor elder Nirasek, who put Baal in the Temple of the World Stone, the prince of Canduras, Aidan, who became a dark wanderer possessed by Diablo, and the council members, berserkers, and singers of the Sakaram Cult holy city of Trivank, who have been corrupted by their souls. But it is precisely because of their betrayal that the greatness of human heroes is even more apparent.
Catherina continued: "Yes. Since it is possible for dark demobilized to hide among civilians, the demobilized associations have divided special stations for demobilized and mercenaries in all major human settlements, which are distinguished from civilian living quarters to prevent the leakage of military secrets. Anyone who enters the area of the Transferee and Mercenary must display his insignia, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of depravity and collaborating with the enemy. Oh, look! They're fighting! It seems that those people are indeed the dark shifters of the Fangs warband! ā
Ling Dan watched the battle situation in the arena and asked, "Poison Fang Clan? What kind of people are this? ā
"What bad luck! I actually ran into the 'Poisonous Wolf King' Marbury's fanged team! The captain of the Poison Fang team, 'Poison Wolf King' Marbury, is the first class of the transfer, two years earlier than our one, and it is said that he is about to break through the level 33 mark, and is a dark transfer with sixth-order strength and the pinnacle of bronze. This kind of strength is also the best among human career changers, and it is the first among dark job changers. He's a druid like you, but he's a ruthless druid who loves to torture people to death with his poison. Hey, there are "wolves" in front and "crows" in the back, and there will be a bitter battle today. ā
Seeing that Catherina was a little worried, Ling Dan couldn't help but seriously consider how to deal with the situation in front of her. Ling Dan asked, "A druid is known as the 'Poisonous Wolf King', could it be that he is majoring in 'rabies' in the transformation skill?" And the summoning 'Fierce Poison Flower Vine'? ā
Ling Dan was a little puzzled: how could a druid become famous by relying on poison skills?
Neither of these skills is a druid's signature skill in the game, and it is not considered the strongest. Not to mention the three flower vines of the summoning system, most people will not add this skill, and the rabies skill of the transformation system has some usefulness in addition to the "Mysterious Cow Pass", and it will be inefficient as the main attack skill in other scenes. However, that was all a concept in the game, and in this real dark world, Ling Dan couldn't tell whether the real effect of the skill was strong or weak. To paraphrase an old saying, there are no skills for scrap wood, there is no profession for waste wood, only players for waste wood. Maybe the "rabies" skill of waste wood is in the hands of some people with special talents, and it is not necessary that it can turn decay into magic.
Fortunately, there was no such thing as the legendary Druid Marbury, just a tall male barbarian warrior, a female elemental mage, and a white-haired necromancer who could not distinguish between male and female.
Catherina was about to answer Ling Dan's question when the three Dark Shifters had begun to attack the young man in the form of a paladin and a pikeman in the form of a desert knight.
"The difficulty of your main quest 'Escort Convoy' of Hero's Dawn has been upgraded."
"Mission Description: You must escort the convoy back to the stronghold, and Flavi must live!"
"Objective: Kill the venomous crow."
"The side quest 'Betrayer of Light' has begun."
"Objective: Kill the three Dark Shifters in front of you."
"The main quest and side quest have been merged, and the current comprehensive quest difficulty: B+. Reward: Legend +12. ā
Ling Dan rolled his eyes, he really didn't know what kind of task difficulty these 12 legendary points represented. But at this time, there was no time to communicate with Catherina in depth, he turned his face and said: "Catharina, protect yourself, I must go and help them now!" We still don't know if there is a countess attacking the stronghold ahead, and we must open the pass as soon as possible and return to the stronghold. You're here to help Flavi right now, understand? ā
Catherina didn't answer Ling Dan's question, but just held Ling Dan's hand tightly: "I want to be with you!" ā
Ling Dan deliberately put aside the meaning of Catherina's words, and said softly: "Catherina, I am not sure about this battle, maybe today is the last day of my life, I don't want you to accompany me on an adventure, you are here to help Flavi......"
Catherina clasped Ling Dan's hand with both hands and interrupted Ling Dan's words: "Ling, even if you want to die, I will die with you today!" ā
Ling Dan was dumbfounded, he found that he had always underestimated Catherina, the sacrifice of a female militia archer, and the resoluteness of a young girl in the face of love. At present, Ling Dan has no good way to do it, but Catherina has no intention of retreating, and wants to share the joys and hardships with Ling Dan, life and death. Only then did Ling Dan understand how much the children of the troubled world dared to love and hate in this dark world where there was no more war. But Ling Dan didn't want Catherina to be in danger after all, and an indescribable love also flowed in Ling Dan's heart. At the same time, strange to say, there was an indescribable passion for fighting in Ling Dan's heart, which made Ling Dan want to fight side by side with Catherina, even if it was really dead together.
No longer hesitating, Ling Dan also clasped Catherina's hands, stared at her emerald pupils and said, "In this way, I am responsible for charging, and you are responsible for shooting behind me, suppressing the enemy's speed with the cold damage of your short bow, and focusing on the battle of lead-down." Let's fight side by side and take the pass! But you have to promise me, Catherina, that if there is any danger, I will use Red to block the enemy's attacks and retreat, while you ride back on White White. I have another way to protect myself, and you have to believe that I can retreat, after all, I am the one who survived the explosion after the death of the Flame Raven. But don't risk it for me like you did last time, okay? ā
Catherina finally nodded this time, let go of her hands, and then took out the bright gold shortbow "Snow of Light", put three arrows on the bowstring, pursed her lips and nodded silently, showing that she was ready with practical actions.
Ling Dan smiled slightly with relief, and expressed his appreciation for Catherina's combat qualities trained in carrying out militia tasks all year round. After raising his hand to summon Xiaobai, he also put on the Arctic fur, lifted the mending axe and round shield, and rushed to the pass.
Behind him, Flavi also noticed Ling Dan's movements, but she had no time to care about Ling Dan at this time. You must know that the poisonous crow is also the "real name of the Dark Gold Demon", and has four powerful attributes: poison enhancement, magic resistance, mana burning, and special speed. If he is not careful, Flavi, who is now in great strength, will also fall behind. In the scene, Flavi suppresses the poisonous crow, but in fact, Flavi is also dragged by the poisonous crow. Before the Rogers from the rear arrived as an outflanking force, Flavi had to firmly suppress the attack of the poisonous crows and buy time for Ling Dan to break through the pass. By chance, Ling Dan and Catherina once again became the key figures in a big battle!
Flavi only hoped that Ling Dan would be able to write a miracle again: "Boy, hope is all in you, don't let us down!" ā
